Since the release of his debut album No Words in 1994, Jim Brickman’s romantic piano sound has defined him as a marquis among contemporary instrumental hit makers. Brickman’s spectacular new concert special Beautiful World with Jim Brickman reveals the bounty of talents that have made him a national phenomenon.

Integrating themes of friendship, healing and cultural connectedness, Jim enlightens audiences to the power of music. World-renowned guest stars include Latin superstar Jon Secada, Celtic Woman’s famed Orla Fallon, American Idol’s Melinda Doolittle, and Canadian singing sensation Mark Masri. Inspired by Brickman’s unique gift of bridging borders and cultural divides through his music, Beautiful World will take audiences on a musical journey through sound and art.

This landmark special is a lush and intimate show, shot in high-definition at Casino Niagara in Ontario's Niagra Falls, and featuring breathtaking views of this wonder of the world. Filmed near the Peace Bridge between the U.S. and Canada, Beautiful World celebrates music's ability to connect and unite people.
